Bilostenniy stops Ferreira; Rabadanov, Magomedov earn decision wins at PFL Sioux Falls

The latest PFL event wrapped up in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, with several Russian fighters picking up key victories.

In the co-main event, Gadzhi Rabadanov bounced back from his loss to Alfie Davis in last year’s PFL lightweight grand prix final. The Russian went the distance against Latvia’s Alexander Chizov and claimed a clear unanimous decision victory.

Magomed Magomedov also returned to the win column after a setback. The bantamweight, who was previously stopped by Sergio Pettis, went through a competitive fight with Brazil’s Leandro Higo and edged out a split decision.

The most emphatic win among the Russian fighters came from heavyweight Sergey Bilostenniy. In the third round, Bilostenniy finished former PFL title challenger Renan Ferreira by TKO, closing the show with a barrage of punches.

The main event took place at welterweight, where American Logan Storley dominated Albania’s Florim Zendeli on his way to a unanimous decision win.
